The function mode and product advantages of induction hotplates
With induction hotplates, an electric voltage is applied on a conductor spool
beneath the glass ceramics. This creates magnetic fields, which directly heat
up the bottom of the cookware through a physical effect.
This means saving time and energy, because contrary to common hotplates,
the cookware is heated up, not the element and the glass ceramics. Due to the
technical characteristics described above, another advantage is very short
start-up cooking time.
In addition, the heat supply promptly adapts to changed settings and can be
controlled in small steps. The induction hotplate reacts to changed settings just
as fast as a gas stove, as the energy reaches the pot immediately without
having to heat up other materials first. The induction technology combines this
fast reaction with the basic advantage of electricity, meaning being able to
exactly adjust the heat supply.
Additional advantages of an induction hotplate:
As the hotplate is only heated up indirectly via the bottom of the cookware,
over spilling food cannot stick and burn and there is hardly not any danger of
burns for user. The glass ceramics is only heated up by the hot cookware.
Once you take the cookware off the hotplate, the device automatically
switches to standby mode.
The device detects whether suitable cookware is placed in the hotplate. If this
is not the case, no energy is transmitted.
Prior to commissioning
Check the device for visible damage.
The power connections and the plug may not show any damages. If you detect
damage, have the device checked by a qualified technician prior to putting it
into operation in order to avoid any danger. This device is suitable for the
intended use only. It is not intended for commercial use.

Only qualified experts may perform repair and maintenance work on the
device using original replacement and accessory parts. Never attempt to
repair the device yourself!
Scientific tests have proven that induction hotplates do not pose a risk.
However, persons with a pacemaker should clear with their doctor weather
to take care of some special handling advices.
Installing the device
Place the device on a stable and level non-metallic surface.
Never place the device on a flammable surface (e.g. table cloth, carpet, etc.).
Do not block the ventilation slots of the device. This may overheat the
device. Keep a minimum distance of 5 to 10 cm to walls or other items.
Do not place the induction hotplate next to devices or objects, which react
sensitively to magnetic fields (e.g. radios, TVs, cassette recorders, etc.).
Do not place induction hotplates next to open fires, heaters or other sources
of heat.
Make sure that the main connection cable is not damaged or squashed
beneath the device.
Make sure that the main connection cable does not come into contact with
sharp edges and/or hot surfaces.
The device should be connected to a rolled-out extension cable with a
maximum length a 3 m and a cross-section of 2 mm. If an intermediate
switch is used, it must be rated at min 16 A.
Commissioning the device
Prior to connecting the device, check whether the voltage indicated on the
type plate corresponds to the voltage supply in your home. A wrong
connection may lead to grave damage on the device and injury to persons.
The hotplate surface consist of temperature-resistant ceramics. In case of
damage, even if this concern only a small tear, disconnect the device from the
power supply immediately and contact the customer service.
Place the hot pans in the hob area only. Never place them on the control
panel or the frame.
Do not place any magnetically objects like credit cards, cassettes etc. on the
glass surface while the device is in operation.

In order to avoid overheating, do not place any aluminium foil or metal plates
on the device. Warning: Please do not put the induction cooker on an
iron/steel board, while operating. Due to electromagnetic reason, the
iron/steel board may heat and damage the bottom of the induction cooker.
Do not insert any objects like wires or tools into the ventilation slots.
Attention: this may Cause electric shocks.
We recommend not placing any metal kitchen utensils, cookware or
pan lids, knives or other metal objects on the hotplate. These may
heat up when the device is turned on.
Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic field. Please note: the
induction hotplate does not heat up itself during cooking, but the
temperature of the cookware heats up the hotplate!
Do not heat up any unopened tins on the induction hotplate. A heated tin
could explode; therefore remove the lid under all circumstances beforehand.
If you do not use the device for an extended period, we recommend you
disconnect it from the electric outlet.

Operating the device
Plug the power plug into a suitable outlet.
The control lamp of the ON/OFF switch lights up and an acoustic signal
sounds.
Now the device is in standby mode.
Place the suitable cookware in the centre of the hotplate.
Now press the ON/OFF switch to turn on of the induction hotplates on. The
control lamp “Stage” blinks and an acoustic signal sounds.
Press the Function Key . The preset power stage “3” is selected and the
device turn on.
Do not place any empty cookware on the ceramic field. Heating an empty pot
or pan activates the overheating protection and device turns off.
Do not operate the device if it is damaged in any way or does not function
properly.
The use of accessories and spare parts not recommended by the manufacturer
may lead to damage on the device and injuries.
Cleaning and maintenance
Pull the power plug prior to cleaning the device. Do not use any caustic
cleaningagents and make sure that no water penetrates the device.
To protect yourself from electric shock, never immerse the device, its cables
and the plug in water or other liquids.
Wipe off the ceramic field with a damp cloth or use a mild, non-abrasive soap
solution.
Wipe off the casing and the operating panel with a soft cloth or a mild
detergent.
Do not use any petrol products to not damage the plastic parts and the
casing/operating panel.
Do not use any flammable, acidy or alkaline materials or substances near the
device,as this may reduce the service life of the device and lead to
deflagration when the device is turned on.
Make sure that the bottom of the cookware does not scrape across the surface
of the ceramic field, although a scratched surface does not impair the use of
the device.
Make sure that the device was properly cleaned before storing it in a dry
place.
